Don’t Return To Your Vomit – It is such a vivid and disgusting metaphor, but one worth considering.

If My Mom Were Me, I Wouldn’t Exist – “My mother absolutely did not want a child yet, did not want a life-sentence of possibly having to raise a handicapped child, did not want to see her goals and dreams and career derailed…”

Why Bloggers Are Calling it Quits – CT has an interesting perspective on why a lot of bloggers have called it quits.

Sports on Sundays – I appreciate what Mark Jones says about the dangers of allowing your kids to play sports on Sundays. “Giving up worship for sports is not an option for Christians.”

Other People’s Flaws – “From thinking highly of myself, it’s only a short jump to thinking and speaking lowly of others.”

    God Doesn’t Ask You To Let Him Off the Hook
